2.5.0 Update Patch Notes

Today’s update includes our top-requested feature – Achievements for both Steam and GoG. You can find a full list of the Achievements and their descriptions below. Additionally, this patch improves the Mission Editor for modders and addresses several gameplay bugs and issues for our more competitively minded players. This includes fixes for jump movement, grenades, Necron generators, and several flame weapons and flame FX such as the Immolator. 

Many of the fixes included in today’s patch are thanks to your feedback, so please continue to report any issues to us at help.relic.com. 

Achievements! 

Our team is excited to release 109 new achievements for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition. These achievements were inspired in part by requests from the Community, in addition to some fun ones we have come up with ourselves. We hope you enjoy unlocking all of them! 

Please note: to bring achievements to Dawn of War - Definitive Edition, we needed to dig in and track progress across the game. With a 20-year-old game as our starting point, we did not have much in the way of existing stat tracking to use, so we had to add that in this latest patch to support Achievements. Any previous play time will not contribute to earning achievements - you are largely starting fresh with this update. 

One partial exception is campaign-completion achievements, which are awarded when you finish the campaign, not working through the entirety of it. You do not need to replay the entire campaign to gain its completion achievement. If you have an existing save or have the final mission unlocked, you can simply replay that mission to earn it.
